ABSTRACT
The history of the development of human society can be traced from the hunt-
ing society through the agricultural society to the industrial society. During
recent years we have experienced the onset of a transformation to a new type of
society. Masuda indicates:
Mankind is now entering a period of transformation from anindustrial society to an information society.... Manis now standing at the threshold of a period of innova-tion in a new societal technology based on the combina-tion of computer and communications technology, quiteunlike any of the past. Ita substance is information,which is invisiblg. This new societal technology willbring about societal transformation which, in a doublesense, is unprecedented.
This transformation to the information society is concerned with the shift from
physical productivity of material goods to information productivity and can be
expected to bring about fundamental changes in human values, in trends of
thought, and in the political and economic structures of society.
The onset of the computer literate, high technology, information society has
profound implications for our two-year colleges. Gollattscheck and others express
the implications in terms of a Community renewal role. They state:
We believe the time has come for a fourth major developmentin American postsecondary education: the creation of thecommunity renewal college. The deterioration of bur communities,the increasing inability of individuals to cope with rapid changethe obsolescence of individuals and social organizations, and theincreasing number of citizens with educational needs who arebeyond the purview of existing colleges demand a new kind ofpostsecondary institution. This new college must be committed tothe improvement of all aspects of community life....
This paper will describe a small, two-year college's strategic planning and human
resource development model and the way it is assisting the college s service area in
the adaptation to the new technology of the information society.
Background on the College's Planning Process
Over the past six years, North Central Technical College has developed
a strategic planning and human resource development model in order to remain
viable in the years ahead. The College examined numerous planning models
from private and public regional universities and two-year colleges. The
best models specified assumptions on which to base subsequent planning and
then stated gOals and objectives. The College specified assumptions under
ten categories and goals under seven categories at the institutional and
departmental levels. These categories are as follows:
Assumptions Categories Goals and Objectives Categories
1. Societal Context 1, Mission Attainment2. External, Agencies 2. Functional Relationships3. Institutional Management 3. Qualitative Improvement4. Programs 4. Program Development5. Students and Enrollment 5. Professional Development6. Student Services 6. Public Relations7. Professional Development 7.- Funding Sources8. Physical Plant9. Equipment
10. Fiscal resources
Dollars are linked directly to stated goals and objectives and reviewed by a
College Budget Committee comprised of twelve persons representative of the
various groups within the college community.1
In August 1979, the President' Cabinet established a Data Processing
Task Force to study the data processing/word processing needs of the College
for the next several years. The DPTF surveyed all departments in an effort
to develop a description of the future data processing environment. This
description was sent to six vendors with an invitation to obtain additional
information personally from all departments, submit a written_propDsal,-and---
make a presentation. The DPTV analyzed critically the six proposals based
on dimensions of the data processing environment including conversion, state
of the art technology, software capability, growth potential, terminal
-1-
acceptability, hardware and software support, maintenance, security, word
or text processing, space requirements, reliability, and other variables.
Site visits and inquiries were made to colleges and corporations using various
equipment configurations. A matrix evaluation form, using the above-stated
criteria and vendor, was used to make the analysis as objective as possible.
The two finalists were asked to make an additional presentation to an
expanded group including persons from the Data Processing Program Advisory
Committee and to complete a questionnaire developed by the group. After
considerable analysis, the DPTF recommended unanimously that the College
select the Hewlett Packard 3000-44. The Board of Trustees approved the
recommendation on October 1, 1981. The College began the conversion to the
new system almost immediately.
A capital appropriations bill contained $210,000 in technical education
equipment funds and $1.8 m for equipment linked to a $311 m building renovation
project. In order to make wise use of these funds, the President's Cabinet,
Academic Council, and other key persons, held a discussion on strategic goal
areas on January 26, 1982. These strategic goal areas were as follows:
I. Information ProcessingA. Computer LiteracyB. The Office of the Future or the Paperless Office
II. Electronic Delivery of Educational Programs and ServicesA. Interactive Diagnostic and Instructional System§
B. Telecommunications and Teleconferencing Systems
III. High TechnologyA. Advanced Machine Tool DesignB. MicroelectronicsC. RoboticsD. Lightwave Circuit Technology
Computer literacy can range from the ability to read a printout through
systems analysis and design. Between these two ends of the computer literacy
continuum yould be such competencies as (1) the use of word processing equip-
ment as input; (2) use of optical mark sensing equipment in test grading and
upgrading the student data base; (3) computer assisted or managed instruction,
-2-
either using a "canned" program or writing a program; (4) conducting longitudinal
studies of student progress; (5) a broad range of applications in business and
industry such as statistical quality control, inventory control, computer assisted
design (CAD) and computer assisted manufacturing (CAM); and (6) language proficiency
in a broad range of data processing engineering contexts. (See, FIGURE 1) Equip-
ment decisions were then made to purchase selected items from the $210,000 authori-
zation and other items from the $1.8 m authorization, including a HP 3000-64 for
the Data Processing Program.
The College went through a similar experience with word processing. The
strategic goal area of the office of the future or the paperless office includes
(1) word processing, (2) personal computers, (3) electrcnic mail (4) computer
assisted retrieval, (5) computer output microfilm, (() facsimile devices, (7)
teleconferencing, and reprographics. (See FIGURE 2) Specification sheets were
designed by a Word Processing Task Force and mailed to vendors. The WPTF
listened to presentations from nine vendors the first two weeks of June.
Selected vendors were asked to demonstrate, on-site, the interaction of their
equipment with the HP 3000. The Philips Micom system was purchased including 3
terminals for administrative support and 16 terminals for the Secretarial Science
Technology. In addition to interaction with the HP 3000-44 and.-64 systems, the
Philips Micom system can interact with the computer systems that were installed
in the Engineering Division.
Computers were first used in the electronics laboratory beginning in the 1980-81
year. By the start of the fall quarter in 1982, the electronics laboratories had
a total of 26 smart terminals and programmable logic controllers and computer aided
design (CAD) was introduced in the Drafting and Design Technology with 4 Autotrol
design units and a VAX 750 computer. The manufacturing processes laboratory
acquired 2 new 15" lathes, 1 Bridgeport mill with digital readout, and 2 computer
numerical control (CNC) lathes. The hydraulics laboratory was equipped with 8
Sperry-Vickers training units.

Thus, the comprehensive planning process that produced the strategic goal
areas of information processing and high technology had an impact on shaping
equipment decisiond tied to educational objectiveS. Personnel began to attend
vendor schools and other training programs in order to develop competencies
necessary to operate the equipment and teach in the programs-. The strategic goal
area of electronic delivery of educational programs and services was discussed at
a meeting on February 9, 1982. An "Electronics Communications Rennovation Project"
was developed and submitted to The Ohio Board of Regents. The project is scheduled
for 1985-86.
The Transformation To A High Technology, Information Society
The history of the development of human society can be traced from the hunt-
ing society through the agriculture society to the industrial society. In the
hunting society, mankind was conce ed primarily with extracting things from
nature. The transformation to the agricultural society was slow and based on
rather simple technological innovation. The hunting and agriculture societies can
be characterized as interactions between people and nature. In comparison, the
transformation from the agricultural society to 'the industrial society occurred
more quickly and was the result of technological advances in energy, transportation,
communications, raw materials, and research and development networks. The indus-
trial society can be characterized as interactions between people and goods or
fabricated nature. More recently, advances in the industrial society have been
the result of the integration of macro technological systems, the aggregation of
complex technological deVelopments in each of the above mentioned networks.
During recent years we have experienced the onset of a transfoimation to a
new type of society. Masuda indicates:
Mankind is now entering a period of transformation from anindustrial.society to an information society.... Man isnow standing at the threshold of a period of innovation ina new societal technology based on the combination of com-puter and communications technology, quite unlike any ofthe past. , Its substance is information, which is invisible.This new societal technology will bring about societal trans-formation which, in a double sense, is unprecedented.2
This transformation to the information society is concerned with the shift from
physical productivity of material goods to information productivity and can be
expected to bring about fundamental changes in human values, in.trends of thought,
and in the political and economic structures of society. This learning and infor-
mati:',. society will be characterized as interactions between people and ideas and
knowledge.
Implications for Postsecondary Education
The onset of a transformation to a new type of society is occurring at a
time when illiteracy is a major problem in this nation. Numerous articles have
been written in recent years about the growing number of functionally incompetAnt,3
scientific illiterate, 4 and the growing illiteracy problem for business when
employees lack reading and writing skills necessary for their work.5
An article
in the Boston Sunday, Globe indicated that it is scandalous that Johnny and Janie
cannot write when they enter college "but it is perhaps less scandalous'than the
possibility that, when they emerge as bachelors of arts or science, they may be
"unable to describe either discipline in acceptable written English.-
6The problem
ii compounded when to these forms of illiteracy are added (1) occupational
illiteracy, (2) LLnomic illiteracy, (3) research illiteracy, (4) management
systems illiteracy, (5) information processing illiteracy, and (6) technologic
illiteracy. Human resource development, the prevention of human obsolescence,
is the biggest challenge to postsecondary education in the years ahead.

The onset of the high technology, information society has profound implica-
tions for an institutional commitment to computer literacy, use of new technology,
and the public service function. Gollattscheck and others express the implica-4
tions in terms of a new role for American postsecondary education. They state:
We believe the time has come for a foUrth major developmentin American postsecondary education: the creation of thecommunity renewal college. The deterioration of our communitied,the increasing inability of individuals to cope with rapid,/change, the obsolescence of individuals and.social organiza-tions, and the increasing number of citizens with educationalneeds who are beyond the purview of existing colleges demand anew kind of postsecondary institution. This new. college must becommitted to the improvement of all aspecti-of community
The institutional commitment to computer literacy carries with it a mandate
for human resource development. In the field of-engineering, for example,
increasing competition in world markets has made manufacturers realize that.-
they must do more with less, and do it better. Many manufacturers feel that
an investment in technology will help them become more effective and efficient
in what they do. Technological advances have been made in the design, engineer-
ing and manufacturing processes.through Computer Aided Design (CAD), Computer
Aided Engineering (CAE), and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM). Other terms
used to describe technological advances include Group Technology, Manufacturing
Planning and Control Systems, Automated Materials Handling, Materials Handling,
Materials Requirements Planning (MRP), scheduling approaches such as Automated
Time Standards (ATS), Computer Assisted Process Planning, and Manufacturing
Resources Planning (MRPII). When these technological advances are combined
in an effort to move toward the "Factory of the Future,' the combination is
referred to as Computer Integrated Manufacturing or Integrated Computer Aided
Manufacturing.
Similar changes are occurring in business extending from market research
through analysis of consumer satisfaction and in health care extending from
health promotion through tertiary, long-term, extended care. Such changes
mandate that postsecondary education take a proactive leadership stance in
assisting the college's service area understand and adjust to the new techno-
logy.
Becoming a Community Renewal College
Between August 1978 and December 1979, North Central TechniCal College
was involved in a project to retrain the unemployed in Richland County.
Laudable and necessary as the project was, it represented a tertiary rehabili-
tation model as opposed to a primary or secondary prevention model. The
intervention strategy was the result of a crisis as opposed to a process
designed to diagnose a potential problem and prevent the development of the
malady. Nor was it a secondary prevention model, that of identification of
an illness at an early stage in order to prevent its complication. The inter-
vention occurred only after the crisis struck the fatal blow even though
early warning signals had been transmitted over the past several years.8
Since then the College has become proactive to the needs of its service area
through strategic planning and management.
One of the first decisions by the College to take a proactive role in
community renewal was the creation of Community Educational Services. CES was
designed by NCTC and The Ohio State University - Mansfield in 1980 to provide
campus out-reach in the areas of (1) personal growth, (2) career advancement,
and (3) community development. (See FIGURE 3).
Research data suggest that our future is, for the most part, dependent
upon the preservation, expansion,'and creation of small businesses. In Ohio,
the 189,000 small firms created 66 percent of all new jobs in the private

sector between 1969 and 1976; 80 percent of new jobs came from businesses less
than five years old. Fifty percent of the state's workforce is classified as
employed by small business; these firms generate 51 percent of the gross state
product. Small businesses, however, have demonstrated they are unable to
afford the type of assistance which is usually available to large corporations.
Part of Ohio's response to the plight of small businesses was the creation
of the Ohio Technology Transfer Organization and the Ohio Job Training Consor-
tia. OTTO is a statewide network consisting of The Ohio State University and
two-year institutions working with state and federal agencies to provide small
business and industry access to information, advice, and services that are
essential to economic development and job growth. OTTO agents have access
to computerized data bases which include the National Technical Information
Service and more than 200 Federal R & D laboratories and centers representing
11 Federal agencies in the Federal Laboratory Consortium.10
OJTC is intended
to help business and industry diagnose training needs and develop programs in
response to diagnosed needs. College credit programs are run through the
academic programs and continuing education programs are run by CES. OTTO and
OJTC representatives at NCTC assist/help establishments in the College's ser-
vice area. (See APPENDIX A)
The comprehensive institutional planning process, the purchase of new
technology, and the commitment to. become a community renewal college led to
the designation of three top priorities (1) human resource development,
(2) computer literacy, and (3) college marketing. (See APPENDIX B). These
top priorities provide the impetus for a broad range of initiatives such as
seminars, workshops, and articulation meetings. For example, on September
24, 1982, the College conducted a seminar on the topic "Advancing Productivity
Through Systems Automation" for corporate personnel. On December 9, 1982,
twenty faculty from NCTC visited Mansfield Senior High to discuss standards
8
9
and articulation. (See APPENDIX C for both programs).
During recent years the College has assisted agencies with developing
a more sophisticated approach to planning and management. On February 15, 1983,
the OTTO Advisory Committee hosted the Executive Director of the Richland
Economic Development Corporation and members of Leadership Unlimited, a pro-
gram to prepare community leaders for the decade ahead. The program for that
meeting was to (1) discuss the information society and NCTC's niche, (2) review
the progress being made'by RE-DeC, and (3) discuss methods for collaboration.
During that meeting the author distributed an analysis of strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats derived from several studies completed in the past.
The College, including OTTO, is committed to assisting RE-DeC in its economic
development plan. (See APPENDIX D)
As a part of its continuing commitment to inform residents of the
service area about state-of-the-art technology, the College conducted a
"High Technology Seminar" on March 17, 1983. In preparation fOr that seminar,
the monthly College publication Challenge contained an article entitled
"High Technology. What Is It?" The article reviews a number of terms Used
to describe advances in technology such as "high," "new," "appropriate" and
"levels of development" as an attempt at adding clarity to this concept.
(See APPENDIX E for the March issue of Cha/lenge and APPENDIX F for materials
about the High Technology Seminar).
Other activities which are already scheduled include an Open House on
May 15, 1983, a Strategic Planning Seminar for the Mohican Valley Olapter of
the. American Society for Training ahd Development on May 19, 1983,, and a School-.
College Articulation program on October 7, 1983. Through these aptivities
The College is'attempting to assist the service area in the adaptation to the
new technology of the information society.
Summary and Conclusion
The transformation to a computer literate, high technology, information
society has numerous implications for a new role for postsecondary education.
These implications hold for primary programs in business, engineering, and
health care as well as support programs such as institutional strategic
planning, management, and evaluation. Institutions must develop strategic
planning and management processes which help keep them viable in the
years ahead. Such processes will mandate computer literacy competencies for
all personnel. Masat has expressed the need for computer technology and
literacy as follows:
Computer technology and literacy are two of our nation'smost important resources. With about half the labor forceholding information and computer-related jobs and earning morethan half the labor income, information has become our majornational commodity. Moreover, our society has becomeirreversibly dependent on computers, particularly in theareas of business, energy, space exploration, research, andnational security. Our ability to use computer technologythus contributes significantly to our nation's present andfuture intellectual and economic strengths. For colleges anduniversities, computer literacy is increasingly needed forreseardt and development, for efficient and effective manage-ment, and for the use of sophisticated technologicalequipment. 11
Numerous issues will be important in the 1980's. No issue, however,
will be as important as the relationship of postsecondary occupational education
to the economy. Foreign competition, technological advances, changes in
productivity, high cost, plant and human obsolescence, and infrastructure
deterioration have resulted in massive dislocations in our economy. In the
past, postsecondary education has seen its relationship to the economy
primarily in terms of providing an educated workforce. In the future, this
focus will continue to be important but not suffiCient. New, expanded rela-
tionships will be required between postsecondary,education and the economy in
the computer literate, high technology, information society. Postsecondary
education must take a proactive role with regard to computer literacy in the
transformation to the high technology, information society.

TOP PRIORITIES
Numerous issues will be important in the 980s. Foreign competition,
technological advances, changes in productivity, high costs, plant obsolescence,
and infrastructure deterioration are.causing major dislocations in our economy.
It is in thai context that North CentTal College must chart a course of
action via strategic planning and management. Through strategic'planning and
management the College can strive to maintain institutional quality through
the allocation of scarce resources in a cost effective manner. At the same
time the College can move in the direction of new program development consistent
with the commitment of becoming a "high technology training center." In,
keeping with these directions, the college planning process has yielded three
top priorities:
1. Human Resource Development
2. Computer Literacy
3. College Marketing
A more detailed explanation of these priorities is as follows:
Human Resource Development
Students
A. Development of students who have a goal-oriented perspectiveon life -- contact with the present or an "eye" to.. the future.Satisfied with present skills.or developing new skills for thefuture.
B. Take students where they are in terms of basic skills and movethem to meet the standards of NCTC.
Development of living skills oriented toward productive workand productive leisure time.
D. Provide an adequate learning environment which allows studentsto develop the,motivation to "reach".
College Personnel
A. Provide an environment which is conducive to trial and error.The stimulatian of experimentation.
B. Provide an environment which is conducive to personal andprofeasional growth.
C. Provide an environment which stimulates the motivation forlearning state-of-the-art.
D. Provide an enabling environment for personal and professionalgratification.
Computer Literacy
College Personnel
Provide an environment which enables each faculty and.staffmember to effectively, use the information processing capabil-ities of computers.
Curriculum
To provide all students with the opportunity of using the infor-mation processing capabilities of computers.
College Marketing
The term marketing is used in its broadest context. Often, we
refer to the 4 P's -- Product, Place, Price and Promotion.
A. Product - This Is the NCTC curriculum and service offeringssuch as career planning, extra-curricular activities,counseling, placement, etc. Characteristics such asquality and quantity are involved.
B. Place - This refers to the location whete the product is delivered-- on campus and/or off campus
C. Price - Is the product or tervice offered at the right price?(Instructional and general fee or other charge of somekind)
D. Promotion - Are the curricula and services being effectivelycommunicated so as to attract the desired student body?'

HIGH TECHNOLOGY. WHAT IS IT?
An article in the Wall Street Journal stated that "'high tech' is looking more and
more like the latest development fad to hit the streets of America." The author goes on
to state that "the concept of high technology or adVanced technology is too vague to be
useful. Sone 'most advanced' technology exists for producing almost every good or
service traded in the economy."
In some instances it seems more appropriate to refer to advances in science and
technology as "new" technology. When speaking of the transfer of technology, the phase
"appropriate technology" is more in keeping with the idea that is being communicated.
.Watcke attempted to display stages of technology development and relate that concept to
curriculum development and point to the need to develop partnerships within a college's
.service area. A modified display of "levels of Technology Development" is displayed in
FIGURE 1.

Adapted rrom Ronald R. Watcke, "Partnership Vital to High Tech," Community and JuniorCollege Journal, December/January 1982-83, 53 (4), pp. 28-31+.
"High Technology" could be defined as any influence of the computer on (1)
engineering and design (2) planning and scheduling, (3) fabrication and assembly, and (4)
marketing and distribution. Such a definition seems most appropriate to the
manufacturing of durable goods. With this definition the Task Force on High Technology
should be interested-in concepts related to the automated factory (AF) or the "factory of
the future." Terms associated with these concepts are as follows:
Computer Aided Technology CAT
Computer Aided Design CADComputer Aided Enginering CAE
Computer Aided Manufacturing CAM
Group Technology GTManufacturing Planning and Control Systems MPCSAutomated Materials Handling AMH
Materials Requirements Planning MRP
Automated Time Standards ATS
Computer Assisted Process Planning CAPP
Manufacturing Resources Planning MRP IIComputer Integrated Manufacturing CIM
Integrated Computer Aided.Manufacturing ICAMData Based Management Systems DBMSComputer-Aided Inspection Test and Control CAITCFinite Elements Analysis FEA
Business and industry, however, is not the only establishment experiencing the,
impact of the computer. Computer aided transcriptions are becoming a practice in
reporting in the courts. In the education industry, computer-aided instruction and
computer-managed instruction are appropriate to include in the definition. Other terms
are also appropriate. Telematics, for example, is a collective term including computer,
information, and telecommunication technologies.
Several lists of advances in technology have appeared in various journals. High
Technology lists the followint fields experiencing rapid growth:'
.Genetic engineering. The technology associated with putting
biological knowledge to work. Applications in the chemicalindustry, pharmaceuticals, agriculture.
.The electronic office. Multifunction work'stations. Word-
speech recognizers and simplified programming that willhumanize the interface between people and machines. The
costs, the benefits, the potential savings.
.Automotive technology. Improvements-in auto engines that will save
money and reduce emissions. Research to overcome the limitationsof potential competitors to the internal combustion engine.
.Communications. Interactive television: the technology and its
likely impact on entertainment, education, business, banking, re-tailing.. Electronic mail. High-speed facsimile. Microwave links
between offices. Teleconferencihg.
.Construction. Energy-efficient architecture. Cost-saving
materials. Labor-saving methods.
.Spacetechnology. The Space Shuttle: how it will boost ourcapability to orbit satellites and even build space stations. Newuses for orbiters -- including navigation, geophysical exploration,
crop studies, weather prediction.
.Energy. Thin-film photovoltaic cells and the promise of low-costsolar-generated electricity. Improved batteries and storage systems.
The technology of fusion power and the obstacles that must be over-
come.
Military/aerospace technology. Rapid /strike force.equipment.
Stealth aircraft. Passive detection systems. Automatic target
recognition systems. Laser weaponry.
.Transportation. Light-rail vehicles. Magnetic levitation for
high-speed trains. Computer-tracked fast freight. Hydrofoils.
Dual-mode personal rapid transit.
Medical technology. Implantable replacement body organs, artifi-cial limbs, diagnostic devices, information retrieval and medicaldata systems.
.Fobotics. The move toward fully-automated assembly lines. New
machining methods. Energy-efficient production methods.-
.New materials. Fiber-reinforced composites (carbon, baron, etc.)
and "foamed" metals, which combine high strength with light weight.
Inexpensive alloys that can substitute for more costly metals.
Superconductots. Mew coatings, adhesives and other materials.
Measurements. New tools for measuring a wide range of phenomena.High-speed observation of dynamic processes, chemical reactions,sub-atomic particles. Cosmological observations.
.Personal computers. What's new and what's next. ;Mat they offer
and how they can be used. Advances which will make them more use-
ful, more popular.
.Artificial intelligence. Machines that think for themselves -- or
for you. (The question is not whether this will happen, but when.)And how we'll deal with the social dislocations as menial work is
phased out..
Several persons have listed high technology industries or devices and processes
which are commonly encompassed by the term high technology. Two such lists are displayed
in FIGURE 2. The "High Technology Industries" list was developed by Watcke and the
"Devices and Processes" list was developed.by Walter Edling of Lorain County Community
College.

Helms lists advances in communications, computers, robotization, biotechnology,
electric power, fuels technology, material technology, and body technologies and the key
words associated with each category. (See FIGURE 3) Moody lists components of the
office of the future or the paperless office as word processing,'personal computers,
electronic mail, computer assisted retrieval, computer output microfilm, facsimile
devices, teleconferencing, and reprographics. (See FIGURE 4)
A report of the Joint Economic Committee of the Congress of the United States
states:
High technology industries consist of heterogeneous collectionsof firms that share several attributes. First, the firms arelabor-intensive rather than capital-intensive in their productionprocesses, employing a higher percentage of technicians, engineersand scientists than other manufacturing companies. Second, theindustries are science-based in'that they thrive on the applicationof advances in science to the marketplace in the form of new pro-ducts and production methods. Third, R & D inputs are much moreimportant to the continued successful operation of high technologyfirms than is the case for other manufacturing industries.
Although analysts'have reached no general agreement on a defini-tion of a high technology industry, there is a general agreementthat the following Standard /ndustrial Classification (SIC)industries qualify: chemicals and allied products (S/C 28);machinery, except electrical (SIC 35); electrical and electronicmachinery, equipment and supplies (SIC 36); transportation equip-ment (SIC 37); and measuring, analyzing, and controlling instruments;photographic, medical and optical goods; watches and clocks (SIC 38).
DUring the summer of 1982, Dr. Edward Q. Moulton, Chancellor of the Ohio Board of
Regents, appointed numerous persons to an Advisory Committee on Two-Year Campus Academic
Affairs. The Advisory Committee is an umbrella structure for several subcommittees and
task forces, one of which is the Task Force on High Technology. The charge to the TFHT
is as follows:
"The Task Force will examine the issues relative to the developmentof high technologies and will recommend policies the Regents shouldconsider adopting in this area."
The TFHT appointed a subgroup to define high technology. The subgroup proposed the
following definition:
The term "high technology" characterizes: processes, preductsand applications stemming from the latest scientific and technicaldevelopment; utilization of high levels of artificial or machineintelligence and information/decision capabilities; and extensionof human manual and intellectual capacities through the use ofcomputer technology and the application of sophisticated.physicalprinciples.
The Task Force adopted this definition unanimously at its meeting on February 3,
1983.
